== Name ==
Early historian Livy (59 BC–AD 17) mentioned it, as did Pliny the Elder (23–79),〔 who mentioned it as ''Olcinium'', its old name ''Colchinium'', "founded by (from ) Colchis" (Olchinium quod antea Colchinium dictum est a Colchis conditum).〔 Ptolemy (90–168) mentions the city as Greek ''Oulkinion'' (Ουλκίνιον). The name, through Late (Vulgar) Roman, became Slavic ''Ulcinj'', (イタリア語:Dulcigno) () and (トルコ語:Ülgün).
The etymological origin of the toponym is unclear. Austrian geographer Wilhelm Tomaschek (1841–1901), in 1880, connected it to the Albanian word ''ulk'' and ''ulkise'', meaning "wolf" and "she-wolf",〔 now supported by Eqrem Çabej, Rymut, Mayer, Eichler, Malcolm and others.〔Eiler,E."Namenforschung / Name Studies / Les noms propres. 1.
